Key takeaways

  • The foundation exists to support charitable organisations, and the only applicants listed are charitable organisations, so other kinds of body should not apply.
  • In the annual report, it paid £689,825 across four organisations, but no typical or largest grant is given, so it is unclear what size of request fits.
  • The Charity Commission lists Kenya, throughout London and Essex as its areas of operation, yet no geographic focus is stated, so check with the foundation before assuming your area fits.
  • No application process is published, so a short written enquiry to the trustees, describing your work and the amount you need, is a sensible first step, but nothing is known about timing or how competitive grants are.
